Study on book number for library based on fuzzy recognition

Abstract

A new fuzzy recognition method of book's number based on neural network is presented. This method includes 10 links: edge detection and separation of a label for library, binarization, denoising, incline correction, extraction of books numerals, window scaling, location standardization, thinning, extraction of numeral feature and fuzzy recognition based on BP neural network. Through testing, the recognition rate of this method can be over 90 %. The recognition time of characters for character is less than 1.3 s, which means that the method is of more effective recognition ability and can better satisfy the real system requirements. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
